Outfit a Colt 6920??

[C4IGrant]

I assume "Grant" is the person or company to talk to if I decide to have the modifications done by someone else.

Who is he and how do I get in contact with him?

I appreciate all the great advice....I'm going to go with a LaRue mount, probably a Comp 3 (2MOA) and I still haven't decided on the front rail. I really like the Knight M4 RAS it just quite expensive. I haven't found a used one. (see sgtlmj's pic above...AWESOME...Thats ultimatley the outfit I'd like to have).

Had a BLAST this morning getting rid of a few left over halloween pumpkins!

By the way, I just purchased 500 rounds of "Black Hills Ammunition Remanufactured .223 Remington 55 Gr. Soft Point" for 179.00 dollars. Is this satisfactory for training with the Colt 6920? Hopefully it's not too dirty and/or won't do any damage to the rifle.

Thanks again everyone!!

C3's and LT mounts are in stock if you need one.

Comp Cs have no resale value and are not built as tough and I would never own one, even if I didn't have night vision or go in the water.

Everyting you just said is incorrect.

The C3 and ML3 are the exact same less water depth.

It may be just the way I'm reading his post, but the Director of Military Biz for Aimpoint seems to disagree with your statement...

FJB is of course correct. The C3 represents one of the best values in the Aimpoint line.

Patrick and Grant....thank you for the contact information...going to check out Grants site now. I may be sending him my upper....after the next paycheck

Patrick I'm glad to hear that Black Hills Ammo is good.....Thats what I've read on the posts...I'm just concerned because I bought the remanufactured to save a few dollars. I have read on several posts to "stay away from all remanufactured and surplus ammo".

Tell me how not being nearly as water proof is "just as rugged" as a Comp M?

I define rugged as knock proof and water proof in an optic.

And my statement about them not holding their value for resale is true. Nobody I know has a Comp C. Nobody I know wants a Comp C, they all want the Comp M.

If you go with the EOTech, spring for a quality mount. Ours have been shaking loose/falling off lately in spite of my use of thread locker; the factory mount isn't up to snuff in my opinion.

They are more than tough enough for any use I might have, or any use that any normal folks might have. I've never been a Marine Recon or a Naval Special Warfare guy, so I don't need greater than 15' of waterproofing. I have an ML2 mounted on my rifle, but the next Aimpoint I buy will be a Comp C3. If you ever find a Comp C3 used, let me know.

Facts are facts and THE best red dot for most LEO and regular earth-people is the Comp C3. I make recommendations based on what mission the gear is intended to accomplish. For the vast majority of users, the Comp C3 is the most efficient choice. It also has the advantage of being available in both the 2 and 4 moa dot versions.

If you believe that you are a guy that needs capabilities of the M or ML series, fine. If you think it looks more cool or has a better sounding model number, bravo. If you want to have the most expensive Aimpoint model just for peace of mind or bragging rights, go for it. Just don't kid yourself that 99% of the shooting public would not be served well by a Comp C3.

It has been my experience that Black Hills remanufactured ammo is fully the equal or better than most makers new ammo. This includes Remington, Winchester and Federal.

Are you punching out of a sub at 60ft? No your not. Will the C3 survive a river crossing? Sure will.

So just to make sure you understand, the C3 is 100% waterproof. Your just not going to be able to dive with it.

Show me one example if where someone sold their C3 and did not get a fair price. If people are figuring in "re-sale value" into their decision making process then they need to stay on the airsoft forums.

People want the M series for the following reasons:

1. Don't know that the C3 exists.
2. Want to look cool and impress their friends.
3. Believe that the C3 is not waterproof.
4. Believe that the C3 is not rugged.
5. Are afraid that the cool kids on TOS won't be impressed with their kit.

For those that have never seen a C3, here is a pic of it with the Aimpoint see-thru covers.

Looks pretty "low speed" doesn't it.
